How to make my products from sub-category display in root category at Magento shopping cart?

How do I display products from subcategories in the main category on Magento after a data migration?

After performing a Magento data migration, you might want to display products from subcategories within the main category page. This can improve user experience and product discoverability. Here's how to achieve this:

  1. Log in to your Magento Admin panel and navigate to Catalog -> Categories.
  2. Select the category you want to modify.
  3. Go to the Display Settings tab.
  4. Set Is Anchor to "Yes". This setting makes the category an anchor, displaying products from its subcategories.
  5. Navigate to System -> Index Management.
  6. Select all indexes, choose "Reindex Data" from the Actions dropdown, and click "Submit". This ensures the changes are reflected on the storefront.

By following these steps, you can ensure that products from your subcategories are displayed in the main category after your Magento store's data migration. If you're looking to migrate to Magento or from Magento to another platform like Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce, Cart2Cart can help.
